Looking for Answers about samsung (Unknown)?

Hi I just bought a Samsung laptop (model: NP700Z5AH-NP700Z5A-S0AUS) with an Intel hd graphics 3000 and an AMD Radeon HD 6750M. The laptop is overall great but it has a very annoying problem.

When I watch full screen video (usually when the background is dark) the contrast/brightness of the screen fluctuates randomly. This happens in media player, kmplayer and even utube. The screen flickers only when the laptop is running on battery. If I plug it in the flickering stops immediately.

I have updated the display drivers and I have spent countless hours changing the settings but I cannot fix it and it is driving me nuts!
I have read that this is a known issue for the intel hd graphics. They even have a driver that clearly states that it resolves this issue. However, I cannot install this driver because my laptop does not allow installation of non OEM drivers (and actually I don't want to use a non OEM driver because it may ruin something else#.

I have also read in several forums that the issue can be fixed if I disable the "Display Power Saving Technology" setting from the Intel graphics and media control panel -> power -> power source: on battery. However, my laptop does not have that setting at the Intel control panel!! #see pic)

Please provide some help. Thanks.

Anyone else unable to change their screen brightness as of late with Easy Settings? My computer seems to constantly be stuck at full brightness (according to the settings) but when I unplug it, it will drop down to minimum brightness, but the computer still thinks it's at max. The only way to adjust it is to put the computer to sleep and wake it back up which isn't convenient.

I have a NP700Z5A-S01UB
I cannot find where to turn on any other sensors other than light sensor

I just purchased this untin for a new college student and would like to buy an extended warranty plan if available.

According to http://www.samsung.com/us/support/win8upgrade/ the NP700Z5A is supported for Windows 8 but when I download the Easy Software Manager from that page and install it then it says "The computer's model or operating system is not supported by Easy Software Manager. Please download and install directly from the Samsung website."

I'm running Windows 8 RTM.

I recently had to reinstall all the software to include the drivers on my computer. After reinstalling all the drivers on the Samsung support website, I am still having trouble with my bluetooth drivers. I tried to reinstall the most recent zip file with the bluetooth driver(s). After downloading the file I found multiple setup/install files but no instructions. After attempting to execute all the install/ setup files I only managed to crash my system and not correct the problems I'm having with my bluetooth drivers. Can you post some instructions for installing the bluetooth driver(s)? Do I only need to download the most recent bluetooth driver zip file? Thanks for your help.

Hi. It is supposed that buying this computer I have the right for the Windows 8 update.

How can I be sure of that?

Thanks

The computer freezes when I click on the "Audio" tab in the "Bluetooth Settings". I installed the latest drivers, but that didn't help

I have always been using sony vaio laptop. Have no complain about it except 2 things:
1. the speaker and 2. the heat
The heat is what I can't stand and therefore I decided to switch to Samsung series 7.
I would like to know if this machine stays cool or getting hot if so how bad it is?
I work on pc 12-15 hours a day, and with pregnancy it is so hard to deal with the heat.
Thanks

Flash is up to date and so are my drivers. Happens to all my videos online but not DVD or saved files just streaming videos. 480 plays fine just any HQ videos

I have reinstalled Windows 7, after deleting all HDD partitions (including the recovery partition).
Everything's working great so far, except for the Samsung Software Center, which is required for installing the ExpressCache drivers which is a rather great feature I'd like to keep using. However, whenever I start Samsung Software Center, it displays an error "Unable to connect to the server. Check for network problems and try again.". I'm obviously connected to the internet, and everything's working fine apart from the Samsung Software Center.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

I've noticed the laptop "runs hot." Specifically the CPU cores idle at 50-60 Celsius and can get up to the high 80s or low 90s C when I'm doing something intensive. Is this problematic - what are safe operating temperatures?

I reformated the HDD with the included disc and now the touchpad will not work. I tried installing the touchpad program but it still wont work.

Where can i get VGA adapter cable for this laptop to connect to external monitor?

It seems like the differences are 150 dollars, 8 vs 6 gigs of ram and Profesional vs. Home?

The S03 lists TPM -- is that exclusive? It also lists its expresscache as 8 gigs, while the S04 doesn't give a value.

The automatic switching to discrete graphics does not work in many cases. Programs using OpenGL or older versions of DirectX are not detected. Even when I select High Performance for a program in the graphics manager window, it still does not switch to the Radeon graphics.
